In June 2025, the Blue Line Corridor (BLC) Coalition will launch a transformative initiative in Prince George's County, Maryland, to revitalize a historically underinvested 5-mile stretch of the Central Avenue/Blue Line Corridor. Anchored by creative placemaking strategies, this effort seeks to reconnect the community to its rich cultural history while building a walkable, thriving corridor. Through a collaborative panel of stakeholders—including local developers, community leaders, and municipal officials—this session will explore how creative placemaking is being used to attract investment, reflect the area's culture, and ensure that existing residents benefit from revitalization efforts. Attendees will gain insights into the process of community-driven development and the unique challenges of working in a diverse, multi-stakeholder environment.
